Joshua Cohen's review of Bleeding Edge

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Interesting also because Cohen worked in "Book of Numbers" (2015) on similar terrain.


... The day after the book’s
      galley was delivered to me — this was just after the Prism scandal
      broke — I took it along to a dermatology appointment and started
      reading it on the subway. Immediately a man stomped across the car
      and without saying anything stuck out his iPhone and snapped a
      shot of the cover. He was white, stocky, about 5'6", and jumped
      out at West 4th Street — in other words, demographically
      representative. Later that evening I found the pic posted online.
      It had already received a few hundred likes. In the weeks that
      followed, Bleeding Edge galleys appeared on eBay, being
      auctioned — being purchased — for upwards of $1,500.
